Started my new job on tuesday and i saw this Golf for sale for £1000 and its really taken to my liking. Got the guys number and so on and going to ring him tonight about more details.

It's just had a new gearbox, clutch and had the exhaust done etc. Just wanted comments from some other people here wether the car is worth it.

Got a few insurance quotes on it and cheapest is £133 a month. Which i'm willing to pay and it's not too high considering ive been driving for a year and had one accident so any comments?

Not sure as i say i need to talk to the guy and couldn't really see the clock, but it does state that its travelled to denmark and that's a 1,000 miles so im guessing it might be quite high but i hope its only gone a couple of times.

ud say, but the BBS's alone r worth a small fortune and the paint looks pretty clean so its bound to be resprayed and with all that money drilled into parts for it 2 recently, whats hiding beneith, floors could be rotted out for all we kno....

a mk2 gti 16v that spec for a grand, either a box of nails or sum1 dont kno what there selling..

My Step Bro had one looking the same as that.

His was in perfect condition, sold it for i think 2-3k.

Great cars, like **** off a shovel too.

He's got an old RS Turbo, and a D reg Escort Cabriolet all in perfect condition too.

The Cabriolet was up for sale on Auto Trader but gone now, she he may have sold it now.

I must be really missing something, probs coz im not into cars but i really cant see how you would think say that,
hopefully he doesn't know what he is selling
I'd rather have a classic 911 or something personally

get service history, receipts etc, mot advisories, either take it for a test drive or get him to take you out in it, reason for selling? at a guess if its as well spec'd as the pic he knows the dub scene, and for that price theres sumit acropper with it =\

what is decent?

define decent? in your eyes it could be an 08 plate corsa.. to myself, this is just another commercial box driven by the masses.

now granted im a sucker for dubs n old skool, so clearly to me 80s/90s golfs appeal to me aswell as bugs, minis etc i love how understated they are when really ull find a mk2 golf to be pretty well built..

thing with old skool etc, theres scene tax, where ppl slap extortionate prices on cars due to ppl thinking they are kool...
